First of all we would like to apologise to anyone affected by the unexpected Maintenance the past 24 hours.
Marapets was experiencing lag yesterday as one of our many disks failed. Normally we would just shut it down and switch to a spare disk but with the issues last month, all of our spare disks were being used for other things.
To be on the side of caution, we closed the site right away and ordered a replacement with expedited delivery. This was received this morning and replaced right away.
We usually do full site maintenance every 3 months (software updates, hardware checks, etc) but with the problems last month, our maintenance was way overdue. While the site was down, we also completed this maintenance.
We have also ordered 14 new SAS and SATA hard drives so that we have more spare disks on the empty bays of the server and a few spare for the future. These will be installed next week and once done, this will not be an issue again in the future.

The Clubs and Pound are now back to normal. We have restored everything as best as we could. There were several features of Clubs that were not working before that are now back to normal. As the Pound is back to normal, please do not disown pets that do not belong to you - open a Support Ticket instead.

We have a new and improved Search on Auctions, Trades, Attic and Galleries. This will allow to search keywords like 'Chibs' or 'Potion' to find groups of items easier.
We also have a new Wardrobe Search so you can find your clothing items much easier!

Price Checker has new features. Whenever you hit a 'Check Price' link it will now show you how many of the item you have in your Attic and Gallery with a fast link to them. It also will show how many of the item is currently on sale in the new and improved Trades.

There is a new feature to help you price your Shop Stock. ou can change the settings of what stock is shown. If you select 'All Stock' it will show as normal, but you can select 'Only 0MP Stock'. This will show all items that are not currently priced and will make pricing and 'Auto Price' much faster.

If you have many different usernames and have completed the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions, you can now change their order at the Town Hall.

There have been many, many other changes to the site that have been requested by players and are answered in the Editorial.

Seven new Teal items have been added as prizes around the site. Win Teal Pancake from the Pancake Pile, Teal Feather and Teal Feather Plushie from Talon, Teal Jelly from the Jelly Castle, Teal Potato from Guess the Weight, Teal Gumball from the Gumball Machine, Teal Sugar Cube from the Sugar Stack game and finally, the Ball of Teal Yarn from Farming quests.

We would like to give you all an update on Support Tickets. Staff are all working extremely hard to restore the site to normal after the issues we had in February. We all want to recover from this as quickly as possible and move on. We suggested opening a Support ticket for the handful of avatars/pets/items that you are really sad to be missing or can't easily replace. We were hoping that you would be understanding and with the amount you gained from the recovery, you would use to rebuild anything missing. The number of support tickets we have received has been overwhelming. We simply cannot keep answering 500+ tickets a day and they still keep coming quicker than we can answer them! We understand that many players are still missing some items but please remember everyone received back a lot of items that they had previously used or sold. There are many more items on the site at the moment due to this and we strongly urge players to buy items from user shops where ever possible. Please only send a support ticket for items that are rare or not available for sale on the site.
Many tickets we receive are asking for items players are missing that they had used/traded/sold already. Many are sending in Paypal receipts expecting a refund of items purchased that were used/sold/traded already. Some of these longer tickets are taking several hours each to investigate and deal with, only to be sent several more asking for other stuff. Our time was supposed to help return things you cannot easily replace. As a result of this, we are putting Pet Renames on hold again for this month and our Easter Egg Hunt may need to be cancelled this year if we cannot get these tickets under control.

The Basil, Bolimo, Flab, Grint, Paffuto, Quell, Yakubi and Zola can now wear the Tiger Costume.
